Sunday morning brunch is possibly one of my favorite things in the world. Breakfast food and good company = best combination. On this particular day, I asked Bobby what the weather was like (since he walked Miku). "Not too cold; it's actually really nice out." He told me I would be fine without a coat, in fact, because it was that nice out.

LIAR.

It was freezing and windy and I could have used not one but three or five coats. Luckily for me, the scarf I wore is approximately the size of a large blanket, so I wore it wrapped around me as such. Plus, Benchmark had lobster bisque. The moral of this story: Always check the temperature yourself and go to restaurants whose chefs understand the importance of hot soup on a cold day.

Unrelated, but I would like to apologize to all of the people with aversions to velvet (and I know there are many). I grew up in the 90s; velvet was practically a way of life. Nirvana lyrics fit all aspects of this post, so that worked out beautifully - a 90s miracle, if you will!

p.s. I made a small run of these velvet jackets for the site, and variants in other fabrics for Emerging Thoughts - just waiting to get my computer back!

Psshh, I LOVE velvet! And you look gorgeous in it. I adore the tuxedo jeans too, so lavish and lovely looking. Glad you were able to stay warm despite the false weather report (hehe) and find some warm soup!

Oh, my. I'm completely in love with the velvet jacket! COMPLETELY. I want one. I've already checked the Postlapsaria and Emerging Thoughts pages at least four times since I saw this blog post, I'm so in love!

I enjoy the velvet that you've been styling up! I think velvet is just intimidating for some people - me including. I get a little uneasy on how to style it and not end up looking like Stevie Nicks on crack. But you have great ideas and always look very chic. Keep it up!
